Thank you, good to know.Don't think we are bored by this! I personally love it because I am waiting on a cockerel that is now 6 months old to start to look like a cockerel instead of a lump of chicken. When he's done, he'll be a dandy though. As for the tsik, completely normal. My males never get those top main tail feathers and top sickled until they are WELL into maturity.
